Crescent City, located in the desert, has a crescent lake in front and a Crouching Tiger Hill in the back, which is a unique place in the entire desert.

The desert is barren, but it is not desolate. The desert is very abundant, not only with low-level demon insects, but also rich in several kinds of ores, and from this, you can directly lead to the Chaos Domain, and behind the Chaos Domain, is the rich Elven Kingdom.

There are caravans coming and going in the desert every day, and Crescent City is the only supply place in the desert, so it is still very prosperous. But because of its isolation in the desert, the power of the empire's control has been greatly weakened. Because of the difficulty of supply and the limited water supply, the Imperial Military Department only stationed a regiment of men and horses here, about 2,000 people, but it was named the Desert Mixed Division. Its division commander is also a serious imperial major general, his name is Qin Tuo, it is said that he has a lot of origins, and he is demoted here for some reason.

The sand scorpion tide has not subsided, and there is still a tendency to spread, and the people in the desert have retreated into the crescent moon city. Father Vienna and his party, because of the existence of the ultimate fire of Qingyu, if it weren't for the powerful scorpion king, ordinary sand scorpions would not dare to get close at all. They entered the crescent moon city without danger.

The entire Crescent City was overcrowded, the atmosphere became solemn, and the order on the streets became chaotic. When they entered the city, they managed to grab two rooms, one for the three girls and one for the other boys. At this time, it was a great blessing in misfortune to be able to grab two rooms, and everyone did not get tired of talking about it, but the price of the house rose tenfold, which made the one-eyed flesh of the Viennese priest very painful.

Standing on the crescent city wall, looking at the vast desert, in the distant sky, you can already see the black sand scorpion approaching the crescent city. Qin Tuo, the commander of the Desert Mixed Division, was a very handsome man, and there was no trace of wind and sand blowing on his fair face. At this time, he was wearing a military uniform, holding a white tasseled red spear in his hand.

At his side, stood a man like a sword, with a gloomy face and a determined gaze. The other is like a mountain, with eyes like an eagle falcon.

Qin Tuo said to the one in Xiangshan: "Qin Er, if you go to maintain order in the city, if you don't dare to be a traitor, no matter what your origin or identity is, you will definitely be killed, and expose the corpse in the city for the first three days to set an example." In addition, all mercenaries and adventurers who entered the city were ordered to form a team and accept the dispatch of our division to fight against the beast tide together. Whoever does not obey the command, whether to kill or expel him, it is up to you to decide. ”

Qin Erhu's body straightened, and a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Order!" He flew away, full of excitement.

Qin Tuo said to the man who looked like a sword again: "Wei Chi, you go and mobilize all your forces, take out all the treasury, and prepare for this big battle." I have a sense of foreboding that today is unusual. ”

Wei Chihan asked in a deep voice: "Division commander, it's just a scorpion tide, so you need to worry about it?

"You know the! It's only been four months since the last scorpion tide. Look at it again, when did the scorpion tide in previous years become so chaotic? They came towards Crescent City, not like they came to attack the city, but like they came to take refuge. What does this mean? It shows that there is something even more terrifying behind them. Do you think that I, Qin Tuo, am a little white face who has never killed anyone, and I will be afraid of the scorpion tide?"

"I, I didn't mean that. Yes, Commander, I'll do it. Wei Chi was cold and hurriedly went to do it.

Qin Tuo looked into the distance, then looked at the sky, and sighed, "Dark Sect, what do you want to do?

In about half an hour, the scorpion tide had pressed under the crescent city, and I don't know how many sand scorpions had drowned in that crescent lake. And the sand scorpion in the back, stepping on the body of the sand scorpion in front, continued to press towards Crescent City.

Qin Tuo's face was calm, and he raised his hand and said: "Archers prepare, the elevation angle is fifty-two, shoot!"

Whoosh ......

Arrows rained down and roared away. These arrows were not ordinary arrows, but magic arrows, each of which was inscribed with the formation of the Flame Blast. As soon as the arrow fell to the ground, a fire explosion immediately occurred, and the roar was endless.

The power of the Flame Explosion Technique on each arrow is comparable to that of the Magician's Fireball Technique, which is a common weapon for elite troops in the Empire, and its power is considerable. After the first round of arrow rain, a patch was vacated under the crescent city.

At this time, the one named Qin Er, who was covered in blood, the blood marks on his face were still dry, and he was carrying a big knife in his hand, and he hurriedly came, hugged his fists and said, "Tell the teacher, fortunately, I am not dishonored." Five thousand six hundred men have been assembled for the commander to send. ”

Qin Er, just his nickname, his real name is Qin Erhuai, he is Qin Tuo's companion, the two have grown up from childhood to adulthood, they are closer than brothers, and they are also Qin Tuo's most trusted people.

Qin Tuo called a man with the rank of colonel on his shoulders and said to him: "Here you are in command, if a bed bug goes up to the city, I will unscrew your head." ”

"Rest assured, as long as there is a bedbug on the city wall, you don't need to twist it, my Li Xiao has already fed the scorpion with his body. ”

Qin Tuo nodded, took Qin Erhuai down the city, and went to the largest square in Crescent City. The adventurers, mercenaries, caravan guards, etc., who were pulled by Qin Erhuai by various means, totaled more than 5,600, divided into thousands of small teams, and stood in the square in a disorderly manner.

There were five hundred heavily armed soldiers around, eyeing each other. Don't look at the fact that there are only 500 soldiers, while the others have 5,000, but if there is a fight, 5,000 stragglers will be eaten by these 500 elite soldiers in an instant.

Qin Tuo stood on the high platform, his eyes were sharp, the cultivation of the Star Palace Period was not hidden, and the powerful momentum was so powerful that everyone did not dare to squint.

"Everyone, for whatever reason. What I want to tell you is that now we are all grasshoppers on a rope, and life and death are tied together.

Everyone knows that the scorpion tide hits the city. What I'm telling you is that those scorpion tides are kind of fart. Our Desert Hybrid Division is to destroy the sand scorpion of the entire desert, and it is not a difficult task. What I want to tell you is that our enemy is not the scorpion tide, but something else. Now, defending Crescent City is the only chance for everyone to survive. Are you willing or unwilling to live and die with me Qin and Crescent City?"

Five thousand six hundred people suddenly became in a commotion, although they didn't know what Qin Tuo's mouth was ten thousand times more dangerous than the scorpion tide, but it was certain that it must be very powerful. Staying here, I'm afraid there will be more luck than lucky. But no one dared to object, because the one who dared to resist just now had already been killed by that Qin Er butcher.

Don't look at the square here is clean, but on the streets leading to the square, there are rivers of blood, and the corpses have long blocked the passage. Qin Erhuai's guy, he started cleanly, there were no extra words at all, as long as he didn't listen, he would be killed on the spot.

According to well-intentioned people, in just an hour, Qin Ertu had killed more than 1,300 people. Among them, there are not a few who are lords, and they even killed a powerful earl. And the noble prince who did not have a title has killed dozens of people, several caravans have been wiped out by him, and all his property has been lost.

When Xuanyuan Qingyu and the others were also recruited, the Vienna priest did not shirk in the slightest, he had already sensed that there was a problem inside, and if he could not defend the city together, no one might be able to escape from the desert.

Qin Tuo continued: "Now, everyone is formed into a team of 100 people, and a leader is elected. You have 10 minutes to do it, otherwise, I'll make an assignment. ”

Everyone quickly combined, and Qingyu and a few people, at first glance, were ignorant teenagers with immature experience, and those lowly mercenaries disdained to team up with them, and in the end, they stood alone.

Qin Tuo also saw it in his eyes, beckoned them over, and said in a low voice: "You are students who have come here to practice, right?

Father Vienna saluted, "We are from the Academy of Stars, and we have indeed come here to train. If this happens, we will do our best to help, but we ......"

"It turned out to be the pride of the Star Academy, and I would have been very ashamed to let you get into danger. So you will follow behind the general, as my herald and personal soldiers, and I wonder what this priest thinks?"

"Everything is at the command of the general. ”

The other mercenary adventurers were divided into teams of 100 people, and Qin Tuo still sent a few commanders to each team of them, and began to train them, with strict requirements, and some of them did not follow the requirements to commit fouls, and killed several people on the spot. almost provoked a mutiny, and as soon as it started, it was brutally suppressed/suppressed by Qin Tuo.

After training these people for about half an afternoon, they finally knew how to advance and retreat the drums and know how to obey orders. And Qing Yu and the others have indeed taken on the role of heralds. Qin Tuo is a kind person, some dirty work, tiring work, and offending people's work, not a single thing for them to do, but to call the real big soldiers to carry it out.

If they are allowed to carry it out, they will inevitably have resentment, and when the turmoil passes, won't they try to add to the enemy?
